Some people keep children in cupboards under the stairs. I keep mine in the kitchen cabinet.

Eli springs his sister.

Photo by Rory: I don't know. I just thought the lighting was kinda cool.

Eli discoverd this bucket worked as a hat. And for the rest of the night he screamed at us if we tried to take it off.

Rory got a grow-your-own-butterfly kit this spring. This is one of the first ones she let go.

Rory prepares to set her butterfly free while Eli looks on. Sans pants.

Roughly two minutes after this photo was taken, the butterfly took flight and a bird swooped down and ate the butterfly. No lie.

Rory tries out the swing her brother got for his birthday. It didn't work out so well for her.

Rory tries to show Eli how one properly sits in a big-kid chair.

When he refuses to listen, she resorts to drastic measures to get him to hold still.

Then she banished him into exile with the dog.
